Expedition Unknown Series

Is anyone connected with this show or know why they seem so close to a discovery that they move on to the next location ? Why do they never do a follow-up on some of these more promising investigations ?

On some cases they do, do a follow up. Or Josh and his team run other episodes with extra scenes and cuts to fill in the story. Im a fan of the show but i also agree with you. Not too sure on the show side of things. But sometimes the film show funds the hunts to follow the story. So perhaps the treasure seeker is wrong or not fully informed. Not sure. But the series has be given the next season go ahead. So more answers may come then.

A few times I have wondered about the planting of artifacts. On a few of his episodes he will be with the search experts and yet he will be the one who finds a clue, a rare coin, or a wax seal. Makes me wonder ? But regardless, I always find his journeys interesting and enlightening. Enough so, that after some of his episodes I find myself using Google to learn more about what I just saw. Maybe "Piratebeth" could provide some details ? Who knows how close he has actually come, ( or being on scene ), of some major historic discovery. Glad to hear about the show being renewed another year.

Well its his show. So i figure he is funding it so he can call the shots on camera. Thats my guess anyway. I mean some things may be placed. But if your at a site for 8 hours and only find 2 good things your going to try an reanact the scene for camera. Again thats my guess. Diggers and such are all the same its all about editing and such to make the program.

I try to look past the fact that almost everything is a find or a direction from josh and try to enjoy the search as such. But i mist admit the last few eps have been a bit long in the tooth. Like trying to drag out a 10 page story into a novel.
But im still a fan. Ill keep watching and look forward to next season. But you have to keep in mind. He is just a tv host. Not a treasure hunter himself

Agreed ! But I do have to admit he does find a few things. I don't envy him on some of those diving trips like in search for that bell !

Uhn........because all of these shows are scripted and totally fake?

My recorder got the 1715 fleet episode, new here..

It looked good, but for he MD'd the beach with a Garrett 2500. I know you can't detect a salt beach with one of those. Probably a technical oversight. And I doubt that they recorded a "live" find of 2 silver cobs, but I think it's ok overall.

I do think it was the first time that anyone got inside the Cuban archives. Interesting!

Josh seems to have a great sense of humor and i enjoy the show. Figure, though, all the "spontaneous" finds are probably shown on the fifth take and 15 guys in his camera and sound crew are in any cave or hole ahead of him.

The later Expedition Truth has lowered my opinion of him. The Blair Witch Project meets Finding Bigfoot. Too hokey.

Assuming you're referring to Destination Truth, but to be fair, that show is old episodes from his original series on SyFy that aired years ago.
